Viking Quest Books 1 & 2

Mom's Notes: So far we have read the first two books in the series, and we're taking a break to read some Christmas stories. But we'll definitely be back! While the literary merit isn't anything extraordinary, the storylines and suspense elements keep us interested and invested. Following the various characters' journeys toward forgiveness and understanding makes for thought-provoking discussion. And the way the siblings care for each other is refreshing and beautiful. We look forward the Book Three! 

My Father's Dragon

If you were setting out on an adventure like Elmer was, what would you pack in your backpack?

Daniel (5): "I would pack rubber bands, a comb-brush, a rope, and my car toy from Valentine's Day." 

Michael (5): "I would bring some fruits and some vegetables and some lollipops and sandwiches."

Mom's Notes: This was the first time for the buddies listening to this one. Of course they giggled throughout! I'll go ahead and ask the same question I asked the other kids after reading this favorite.
